Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award: Rehabilitation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Connecticut and Massachusetts" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0078). The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that NPS intends to fund a specific set of trail rehabilitation activities through a pre-identified partner, without full and open competition.
The funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement action, specifically a task agreement (P14AC00937) awarded to Greenagers, Inc. under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle (P14AC00936). In practical terms, this means the work is being carried out through a collaboration model where NPS and the recipient may coordinate closely on project execution, rather than a simple pass-through grant. The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding, with the activity type listed as "Other," and it is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which signals a conservation and youth service orientation for the funded work.
The notice indicates there is exactly one expected award, and it is single-source to Greenagers, Inc., identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is a single-source intent-to-award notice, other organizations are not being invited to apply, and there is no open competition period in the usual sense. The posting and creation date are July 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2014, and an archive date of July 8, 2014. Those dates function mainly as the administrative window for posting the notice rather than an application timeline for prospective applicants.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $28,444, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $28,444, meaning the planned award amount is fixed at that figure rather than a range. The announcement also states that cost sharing or matching is required, which means the project is expected to include non-federal contributions (cash or in-kind) to meet the agreement terms, although the notice text provided does not specify the match percentage or what forms of match are acceptable. Anyone needing the full details is directed to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on the posting, which would typically contain the justification for the noncompetitive award, project scope, and the specific rehabilitation activities to be performed along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail segments in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
For access issues or administrative questions related to the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
